The new LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109) is still a few weeks away from the official release but a few sites are fortunate enough for get their review copies from the LEGO Community Engagement and Events (CEE) team already. I’m part of group of people who are currently waiting to get our hands on the Exo Suit on August 1st. However, I can still tease you guys with images of the box, courtesy of Brickset.

We first saw images of the box when the Exo Suit was first revealed but it was only a blurry picture and now we can clearly see it. On front of the box, we can see a few of the things that we already knew were going to be included with the set such as the Exo Suit, the two minifigures, and the turtle but on the back, it shows that we also two yellow barrels and a platform.

We’ll be doing our own review once we get the set is available next month so stay tuned for that.

With the reveal of the LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109), LEGO Designer Mark Stafford, aka Lego-Nabii, has been giving some insight of the set on Reddit including the development of the set and why he used certain LEGO elements. One very important thing about the set that Mark notes is:

• This is currently a single production run – I’m not sure of the figures – but if you see it and you want it then buy it, at the moment when it’s gone it’s gone for good. Don’t be disappointed. (Not trying to do a hard sell here, this is currently the plan!)
• At the moment the plan is for a single run. Don’t dawdle on this one! (sorry.)

What that means is that the Exo Suit (21109) will only be sold once and once LEGO has run out of stock, then that’s it. The LEGO CUUSOO Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover (21104) also had a single production run and we’ve all saw what happened with that so don’t hesitate to get it once it becomes available for purchase in August.

For some of us, we’ll be getting multiples of the set to build an army of them and given the popularity of it so far, I’m pretty sure that it will be sold out fairly quickly. There’s no mention on how many sets are produced but just to give a comparison, the Mars Curiosity Rover sold out in a matter of days here in the US. The Exo Suit will be available both on Shop@Home … Continue

Brickset has posted a very nice image, shot by Ian Grieg (Bluemoose), of a side-by-side comparison of the original design of the Exo Suit and the official LEGO Ideas (21109) design. As you can see, the one that we’ll be getting is a little taller and it uses ball joint for the legs. The torso is roughly about the same size although the official one has a rollcage type of design for the pilot seat which I appreciate. Some things that are present in the official Exo Suit that is not on the original one are the pipes and hoses in the back which gives it a bulkier look. I also see a very interesting use of the ADU pistols.

Also note that the green Classic Space minifigures will have yellow heads and not a flesh ones. I’m definitely going to be picking up one when it’s available in August and I’m sure others may be getting multiples to build an army of them. What are your thoughts on the new Exo Suit 21109 after seeing the comparison of the two designs?

Update: Peter has uploaded a couple more images of the Exo Suit including both minifigures as well as the turtle robot.

The long-awaited reveal of the LEGO Ideas #007 Exo Suit (21109) is finally here. Peter Reid has been teasing us with various images and anticipation was mounting for the official reveal and the LEGO Ideas blog has released animated video by Chris Salt of the set. There’s no other details on the blog but as we mentioned from a previous article, the set will be available on August 1st and includes 321 pieces and retailing for $34.99. Along with the Exo Suit, we also get two green Classic Space minifigures and the turtle! An image over on Brickset shows the set leaked early from the revised instructions of the Ghostbusters Ecto-1 but was quickly taken off so it wouldn’t spoil the reveal. Check out the video below for a look at the new Exo Suit.

Peter Reid has sent out his final tease for the new LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109). The image shows the original project as well as the covered Exo Suit Mk. 3 constructed by Anodyne Systems on the opposite side with the caption “More information in twelve hours.” Who’s ready for the reveal?

A reader by the name of Fred has informed us in the comments of an earlier post that the German LEGO Calendar/Catalog has teased part of the box of the LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109). There’s no other details but from what little we can see from the box, it looks really cool. Also in the image is part of the arm of the Exo Suit so you can kind of see how it was created. The image lists the set being available on August 1st for Germany but I think that date is worldwide.

Update: Fred also mentions that the set will include more than one minifigure so we’ll probably get both members of Salvage Team Alpha Zero Nine. The listing in the ad also states 321 pieces and we already knew it would retail for $34.99.
